Artists speak about Vox Continental V

If your Voxy Lady breaks down on a permanent basis, or if you can't get your hands on the real deal: this is the next best thing, and I've tried a few sound-emulations for the VOX. I can't believe that it was possible to recreate that very unique sound digitally. Now, can someone build the VOX Continental V into the original housing, so it's ready for touring?

I love the Vox Continental V by Arturia. It's definitely that Vox sound but with so much more plus it won't fall apart like my Vox's do.

When I was sixteen and determined to join a rock band the first keyboard I bought with money earned working Saturdays at the local record store "Jennings" in Bexleyheath was a Vox Jaguar single manual organ. It was the same instrument I took to the Elvis Costello audition a couple of years later, and played on my first recording "Watching the Detectives". This is the sound that coloured the album "This Year's Model" Arturia have brought this wonderful electronic musical instrument into the twenty first century. All the parameters you would expect 'tweakable' have been faithfully reproduced. Great attention to detail. The only thing we need now are the chrome S shaped legs. I love this V instrument, the Arturia Vox Continental sounds as cool as the original, and moves with you more easily. Killer.

I put the VOX Continental V through an amp bearing a similar name and couldn't tell the difference...

It’s Organic

We started with the classic and rare Vox Continential 300 dual manual organ and captured every nuance of the original down to the key contact timing and background noises.

We did not stop there however, we also acquired a rare Jennings J70, which Tom Jennings created after he left Vox, and added a J70 mode to the voice engine. So you don’t just get one rare organ, you get two!

More than the Original

You get our TAE® modeled circuitry of both the upper and lower manuals of the Vox that can be used via multiple MIDI controllers or with a single manual controller. The Bass section adds that rich low end. In addition you get a collection of vintage stomp boxes to process your sound with and then feed the output either directly or through a classic guitar amp with multiple models or even through a Leslie speaker.

An artistic reference
